Short video: Central Panik
Fantastic surrealistic work by sozap!
Hello,
This is a little animation project that I made for fun, being inspired by the great music of People Like Us.
I’ve made a little breakdown video too, if you’d like to see a bit how it’s made.
I’ve started the animation two years ago. But having too much work, I never find the time to finish it until now. In the end, the work time spend making it was about 2/3 month. That doesn’t include the rendering times and many 3D models that I took either from the web or in past projects. When seeing it two years later I’d like to re-do many things but I’m still very happy with the result.
For compositing I tried Natron that I found very nice to work with (except a few issues) , if you’d like to go further in compositing using FOSS software it’s a very good tool alongside Blender.
That’s all for now, if you have questions I’d be glad to answer them in the comments…
Thanks for watching !
Breakdown:
haaa! so cool! je l’aime trop! il faut continuer, tu te fais de fans!
Haha this is so trippy! It looks and sounds amazing, though. Very professional looking work!
Yeah! Very nice. Well done. Not very sure about the message but I don’t think it matters . The. Compositing is excellent and the whole looks very polished.
Just curious about how you did the mushroom explosion… modelling + shapekeys + displace mod ?
Hello, you’re right about the message :)
For the mushrooms it’s 3 different objects, that are animated using an armature.
I used displace with a cloud texture . I’m also using an UVwarp modifier to make the UV slide and give a natural effect. Displace and texture are mapped into the UV’s.
To complicate things, but also to model the mushroom more procedurally, each part is a subdivided plane that are shaped using several curve modifiers. Because the UV’s needs to be very clean for the effect to work properly.
Now I think this could have been skipped and made simplier.
